Examination of Turkish teaching resources in the context of proverbs and idioms

According to TDK, proverb is defined as an admonitory saying, saying, parable, assertion, proverb, which has been said based on long experiments and observations and has become public knowledge. An idiom is defined in TDK's online dictionary as a formulaic phrase or expression that usually has a unique meaning, more or less separate from its real meaning. Proverbs and idioms are an important element and carrier of culture. Teaching a language also means teaching the culture of that language. Proverbs and idioms are important because they have been carriers of cultural elements belonging to that society for centuries and constitute the basic elements of culture.
